22. What's the difference between trying and constantly failing...

and not really trying at all?

How would an observer be able to tell if you're trying?

Like if someone made a simple quoting error, and neglected to point out that they were quoting someone else instead of taking the words for themselves, how hard would one have to try to simply apologize for the error and correct it? Would Jesus want you to do that?
